Dear Collaborators,

Solar activity is at a low level. Target region NOAA 13112 has
now rotated its spots over the North West limb and was finally
classified as a beta/C-type sunspot group, although this was
heavily influenced by foreshortening effects. This region was
once again the most flare-productive region, being the source
of C-class flares including the largest magnitude event in the
period, a long-duration C6.1 flare on 15-Oct-2022 at 14:07 UT.
C-class flares are probable in the following 24-hour period,
with NOAA 13112 remaining the target region for a final 24
hours until its high-lying coronal loops rotate out of view.

The limb-departing position of NOAA 13112 on 15-Oct-2022 at 18:00 UT is:

N23W90 , ( 885", 374" )
